A knock on the door stirs me from a restless sleep and I sit up on my bed, glancing over at the clock by my bedside. I realize with a quiet groan that I have slept in past my work hours at the bar.I should have been there a half hour ago to take over Jake's shift so he could go about his business but somehow I slept through the alarm I had set. I can already tell who is at the door and I wince visibly knowing Jake will not be impressed by my tardiness."Kyra?" Jake's voice calls from the other side. "You decent?"Quickly getting off my bed, I throw on a shirt and wipe the sweat from my brow before I respond. "Yes, come in."The door opens and Jake steps in. His gaze sweeps over the room, the messy bed, evidence that I only just woke up and then over me, taking in the traces of exhaustion lingering on my face."Kyra, you're hiding something." Jake accuses directly, catching me off guard. "I'm fine." I reply a little too quickly.Jake folds his arms, his expression unreadable. "You're

The bustling atmosphere of the bar is dimmed to a low hum as I walk down the dirt road leading from Jake's cabin home in the woods, to the Red Ember bar where I work the night shift.Hoisted on my back is my small duffel and Jake's larger backpack which he usually brings along with him to the bar. Jake is meant to be on shift tonight as well but I have not heard back from him since he left with Ken much earlier in the day. Jake has never been gone for this long and I expected he would return to get ready for our shift but I have seen no signs of him. Jake being his traditional self does not have or use a cellphone and so there's no hope that I can put a call through to check on him. I'm not worried, I know Jake can handle himself so I bring along his change of clothes with me, just in case he comes to the bar later in the night.It does not take too long to arrive at the main street from which it is just a cross over to the Red Ember bar. The bar is usually packed by these hours, I c

"Open up." Jake's gruff voice demands from outside the cabin, sending my heart racing once again. Not with fear this time, but guilt and apprehension. "Now, Kyra." Jake urges.Scrambling to my feet, I unlock the door and step away from it to let Jake in. Jake's gaze zeroes in on me as he strides in and slams the door shut without even glancing back at it."I... I..." I stutter but I'm not certain what I even plan to say."What did I say about letting your emotions get the best of you?" Jake asks, his narrowed gaze keeping me captive in place. "This is your home! Why would you run from the intruder? Did you think I would let anyone harm you right in my presence?! What would have happened if I did not get here in time?!" He hissed at me.I wince visibly at that, only now it dawns on me that Red Ember City is home to many law breakers who certainly have their own history with Everdale wolves, I am not the only one and they would never let me be dragged off regardless of the accusation.B

The bar finally looks habitable and I exhale a breath of relief, glancing around in satisfaction at my work. It is well into the morning now and this would usually be training hours but I can see there will be an adjustment to the schedule, considering Jake is deep in conversation at the end of the bar.Jake and Rhett arrived at the bar over an hour ago, they immediately joined Top and since then, the three have been conversing in hushed tones at a quiet corner. I have no idea what topic they are discussing and I dearly hope it has nothing to do with me.I do trust Jake to keep my secret to himself, but each time any one of the group steals a glance in my direction, which they have been doing quite frequently at a regular interval, my heart plummets to the pits of my stomach and doubts begin clawing at me.It takes a few deep breaths to calm myself and maintain a collected facade, which quickly depletes as Top glances my way once again. I do not meet his gaze and focus on arranging th

The enforcer eyes me from head to toe, his brow quirked slightly while I stand, completely naked and utterly mortified by the situation and my failure to even sense his presence till he burst right into my bathroom.The look in his eyes changes too, darkening with what is unmistakably something along the lines of desire and lust, he leans forward slightly, inhaling deeply, like he is trying to distinguish my scent from that of my body wash.A shudder of disgust rushes through me and I wish the ground would just open up and swallow me whole, since there is little I can do to cover up my body from his lustful gaze and his creepy actions."Word in the pack house says you are Alpha Mikos' true mate... and he dumped you. They say he fucked your cousin right in front of you too..." He drawls quietly, a smirk of amusement on his lips. "Not like anyone believes it, but the rumor is spreading rapidly and now that I think about it, you're not any worse off than the Alpha's chosen Luna..."The t
